What does a bat do in the winter?

It splits if you don’t oil it.

Bats don't split if not oiled any more? Improved technology, I suppose, in the field of wood treatment.

Indeed, hence the ref to 1950... this is the sort of thing that comes to mind...

Enjoyed the technical delivery, if not so much the contact. The blurred response was like an online drum roll.

"What does a bat do in the winter?"

*Smudge*

Even by the standard of 'Joke Du Jour' that is pretty bad. Normally there's scope for some humorous deconstruction, but as the answer appears to be 'smear their faeces' I can't even see where the joke is, it seems to be a literal description.

The joke itself is implausible. A decent cricket bat in the 1950s would have been an expensive item. Even the wealthiest of upper class twit would have struggled to make light of such profligacy, for the sake of a quick wipe over with linseed oil.

Aha. Many thanks.
So I need to select "Inline Spoiler" - I don't think I'd have found that without your help
